The ‘Scanned Manuscript Pages’ collection is part of the Seán Mac Giollarnáth digital collection which is available on DRI. This collection consists of PDF image files of each individual page of each manuscript. Each page is stored as a separate digital object on DRI.

Seán Mac Giollarnáth (1880-1970), folklorist and writer, compiled a renowned manuscript collection, mostly of folklore material, while he was district justice in Conamara (1925-1950). The original manuscripts are currently held at NUI Galway in Ionad an Acadaimh, Carna.

He published some of this material in texts such as ‘Peadar Chois Fhairrge’ (1934), ‘Loinnir Mac Leabhair agus Sgéalta Gaisgidh Eile’ (1936) and ‘Annála Beaga ó Iorrus Aithneach’ (1941). Extracts of his work including ‘Annála Beaga ó Iorrus Aithneach’, read by Liam Mac Con Iomaire (1986-87) have been broadcast on Raidió na Gaeltachta. The manuscripts were transcribed into Microsoft Word format in 2003 and 2004 and subsequently migrated to PDF. The manuscripts were digitally scanned in PDF format in 2014. These now form the basis for the Seán Mac Giollarnáth digital collections which are available on DRI.

The 47 scanned manuscripts and 47 transcripts, each containing 3807 pages, are presented as four separate collections:
